Notes

David Bottorff, note-taker

  • In-app reports document -

    • we've gone through almost all of them other than 3 inventory reports (instance UUIDs via csv file, two others nonfunctional exports to MARC or JSON)

    • circulation log results export to CSV but not developed yet (Iris)

    • will need to revisit this at some point

    • feature requests being shared with POs

  • Documentation working group

    • met for the first time Wednesday

    • met with Marsha Bornstein (consultant) and convener from Blackwater

    • a lot needs to be written, planning for that (most being tracked in draft in Google Drive OLF)

    • interest in developing a glossary

      • need to collate glossary work from across SIGs, apps, etc.

      • contribute back to project a translation from Voyager, Sierra, Aleph and other systems to FOLIO

      • Erin will share around glossary for feedback, likely one of the first priorities to complete

      • Jira project so that documentation is part of the development project

      • this group needs to work on the Circulation Needs document - next step is how do we track this work and ensure it's documented, do people have ideas?

        • Cornell everyone on training group is doing 4 hours a week on FOLIO

        • Thursday meetings - time to review documents, or collective time to write documentation

        • Marc-breaking up into smaller working groups to write and review

        • Google technical writers style guide is what's being followed

        • but don't get nervous, as the working group can edit to follow the style guide

        • need for a roadmap for how to get through this in the next 4-6 months-Erin will work on this, play around with models

        • right now, if you want to pick up documentation, edit the Circulation documentation needs page and put your name next to it and we'll formalize this later

        • documentation intro to what's in the wiki, what's in Slack, what's in Jira, etc. onboarding is definitely lacking. Welcome to FOLIO; maybe a recording of welcome community member forum and a Q&A

        • roadmap-think about tasks that folks who don't have as much experience or time for documentation can help with
